Why it matters
BLUE RIGHTS is releasing a pilot film and a song together while openly recruiting co-creation and co-production partners across publishing, music, merchandise, and overseas distribution, which reads as a project still assembling its production and business base rather than one announcing a finished series.
Key Facts
- Takashi Iwami's insert song "Knots" began streaming the same day on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, LINE Music, and AWA.
- Shunsuke Takarai directs Ninja Skooler and handles storyboards and unit direction.
- Animation production is credited to breccia and Kinema citrus, with Kevin Penkin as composer.
Shunsuke Takarai directs and handles storyboards, with character drafts by Hami and animation production by breccia and Kinema citrus. The story follows a boy named Rappa raised by a real ninja and his master.
The pilot film and the song went live at the same time on November 6, and the project's own materials list Kevin Penkin as composer and Studio Hale's animation producer Kei Wada alongside producer Makoto Kimura and Muneki Ogasawara. Character design is credited to Hiroko Oguri, with art direction by Lee Jooyuong and sound direction by Yo Yamada. Takarai, a Studio Hale director, said the team tried a line-free drawing style to convey the vagueness and fragility of children. BLUE RIGHTS is also running a follow-and-repost campaign with Studio Hale's official X account to mark the pilot's release.
